Genuine question, why do you describe it as pre-Gulf War?
I understand yours may have a date of manufacture coincidence, but other than that, does it have a connection?

Its purely the manufacture date, June 1990, the gulf war kicked of in August 1990.

Cheers they were NOS from WW2. perfect for the watches. (obviously they are not Marathons but Waltham's)

There were actual issued Marathon watches for the US army but they have a completely different style from your picture.
